    摘要: A transmitter includes: a driver circuit having a pull-up circuit, and a pull-down circuit, coupled to an output pad; a digitally controlled impedance (DCI) calibration circuit having a first reference driver, a second reference driver, and a reference resistor, the DCI calibration circuit configured to: generate a value for a first code by calibrating a first impedance in the first reference driver against the reference resistor; generate a value for a second code by calibrating a second impedance in the second reference driver against the first impedance; and adjust the value of the first code to match the first impedance with the second impedance; and a pre-driver circuit configured to supply the first code and the second code to the driver circuit for adjusting output impedance of the pull-up circuit and the pull-down circuit.

    摘要: A power transfer electrical system includes an electrical signal source that generates a current at an output. An electrical load is electrically connected to the output of the electrical signal source. An output of a controllable voltage source is also electrically connected to the electrical load. The controllable voltage source generates a voltage that is proportional to the current generated by the electrical signal source. An input of a controller is electrically connected to the output of the electrical signal source and an output of the controller is electrically connected to a control input of the controllable voltage source. The controller generates a signal that controls the voltage generated by the controllable voltage source so that a desirable amount of power is transferred from the electrical signal source to the controllable voltage source.

    摘要: A current-mode logic circuit is provided. The current-mode logic circuit includes a transmitter module. The transmitter module includes an output impedance circuit, a switch circuit, and a current source. The output impedance circuit provides an adjustable output resistor. The adjustable output resistor includes floating resistors and/or pull-up resistors. The switch circuit is coupled to the output impedance circuit. The switch circuit receives differential input signals, outputs differential output signals, and controls high-low level switching of the differential input signals and the differential output signals according to the adjustable output resistor. The current source is coupled to the output impedance circuit and the switch circuit. The current source provides currents to the output impedance circuit and the switch circuit. The floating resistors are resistors coupled between the differential output signals, and the pull-up resistors are resistors coupled between the differential output signals and a power source.
